Textile Limitd Set TOKYO - Negotiators for Ja-
pan and the United States agreed Friday night to limits to be set on the flow of Japanese textiles into the American market. The agreement ends a three year dis- pute between the two govern- ments which had been threatening their relations. The agreement will stimulate President Nixon's economic plan and will fulfill a 1968 campaign promise to the American textile industry. How- ever, Japanese politics have been aggravated and Premier Esaku Sato is under fire because the United States has made no con- cessions. Nobel Prizes
STOCKHOLM - In announcing the first two Nobel Prizes for this year, the faculty of Karolinska In stitute and the Swedish Roya Academy of Sciences have hon- ored two Americans. The first was Dr. Earl W. Sutherland, Jr., a professor at Vanderbilt Univer- sity in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his award, valued at $88,000 cash, in physiology and medicine for his basic discov- eries in hormones. His work is expected to lead to the control of certain diseases, including cancer. Simon Kuznets, an econo- mist and statistician, will receive the prize in economic science, valued at $90,000. Kuznets'award was for no particular work, but for his overall contributions to the field of economics, Water On Moon
HOUSTON - Equipment left on the moon by Apollo astronauts has detected the presence of sub- surface pools of water on the moon. The water has been found in vapor form which is coming from an undetermined point in the moon. Geochemists have already stated that the rocks brought back are not the type that harden in the absence of water. In the light of this recent dis- covery, they feel the moon is not completely dead, but is still ex- periencing volcanic action. Foreign Aid Cut
WASHINGTON - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee acted Thursday in showing its disapproval of U. S. involvement in Southeast Asia by cutting $850 million from the administration's request for $3.3 billion for foreign aid. The committee still has to consider a third part of Presi- dent Nixon's request, which asked $510 million for foreign military sales. A large cut is also expected in this area. The committee also considered an amend- ment by Senators John Sherman Cooper and Frank Church, which would deny the President the pow- er to use U. S. troops to stabil- ize the military and government in Vietnam. The committee has delayed voting on this until the House has a chance to vote on a related Senate - passed plan of Sen. Mike Mansfield.

Eligible Organizations Cut In Half By BECKY NICHOLSON
Each year those organizations on campus that provide a service to the college and its members meet the qualifications set by the Student Activities Committee and are permitted to receive appropriations from the committee. The Student Activities Committee has allotted $58,000 for the year 1971-72 to 18 organizations, which is half the number of organizations which received funds last year. Those groups which have not been included in the appropriations this year include the honorary societies, the organist guild, Orchesis,Lychnos,MENC.
the foreign language clubs, the Home Economics Club, Phila- kalia and the Political Science Club. The Publications Board is a new addition to the list.
The organizations must request an increase in funds each year because of the increasing number of people they must serve. The appropriation of $58,000 for 1971-72 exceeds the $39,830 aUotted for 1970-71 by $18,170.
All of the decisions concerning monetary matters were at one time made by the administration alone. However, the administration came to feel that, in order to
maintain some continuitv on the committee, it would be necessary to have student representatives who would have an equal opportunity to voice an opinion on how the money was to be spent. Student representation on the committee has now reached enough strength that, if they feel the need to, they can in fact out-vote the faculty and administration representatives.
The committee consists of 20 members, four from the administration and faculty and 16 from the student body. Those members of the administration and faculty who serve on the Student Activities Committee include the
Assistant Dean of Students, Dean Nuckols, the Director of Student Activities, Tim Brown, the As- sistant Business Manager, Frank Williams, who is also the college treasurer and Dr. Frances Brown of the English Department, who serves as the faculty represen- tative. The students on the committee include the President and Secretary of the Student Gov- ernment, the treasurers of each of the four classes, a rising sophomore and a rising junior, with an additional two representatives from each class, who serve on the committee for the four years they are here.
Student Apathy To Elections Prevalent By TINA MOODY
Apathy prevails onLongwood's Campus in regard to the upcoming election of Lieutenant Gov- ernor. Of 35 students recently questioned, 20 had not registered to vote. Only 3 of the 15 who were registered knew for whom they would vote, while four of them did not plan to vote at all. Few had taken advantage of the fact that the registration books were kept open an extra week in Farm- ville for Longwood students.
Nearly all those included in the polling expressed a general lack of knowledge about the candi- dates. Several girls said they would have to do some research before they could vote. Some- what in answer to their needs, short sketches of the three opponents in the race for Lieute- nant Governor are presented:
Henry Evans Howell, Jr., of Norfolk is running as an Inde-
pendent. The one-time Democrat has been termed as the only liv- beral candidate. He has received the endorsement of the AFL-CIO running under the slogan "Keep the Big Boys Honest."
The 51 year old lawyer attend- ed the College of William and Mary and Old Dominion Univer- sity before receiving his Bache- lor of Laws degree from the Uni- versity of Virginia. He is a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce. Howell served as a member of the Vir- ginia House of Delegates in 1960 and 1964. He has been a State Senator since 1966.
The Democratic Candidate is George J. Kostel, age 43. After graduation from Hampden-Syd- ney he was educated for his Bach- elor of Laws degree at Washing- ton and Lee University. During the years 1951-53 he was a 1st
Lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps.
Professionally, Kostel is a practicing attorney in Coving- ton and Clifton Forge. He acts as a director of the First Na- tional Bank and the First Fed- eral Savings and Loan Associ- tion, both of Clifton Forge. For the past eight years Kostel has served in the House of Dele- gates. He has been active in the House Education Committee and Corporation, Insurance, and Banking Committee.
Republican candidate George Jhafran is supported by Gover- nor Holton. He was elected to the House of Delegates in 1969 and served on the Virginia Ports Stu- 1y Commission, as well as the Committee on Roads and Inter- nal Navigation.
The Arlington resident was educated at Bucknell and Brown Universities. A veteran Naval of-
ficer of two wars, he founded and is president of Better Homes Realty, Inc. He is also president of Realty Programming Corpora- tion of Arlington.
Longwood students who choose to vote may follow one of two procedures for the November 2 election. Those students registered in their home districts must mail in absentee ballots to be received within five days before the election. Everyone registered in Farmville may vote from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., November 2.
The registration of college students in the districts where they attend school is, as of yet, provisional. The three judge court appointed to decide whether such a registration is constitutional in Virginia has not met. Until this ruling is made the only Long- wood Students eligible to vote are those who registered in their home districts.

Geist Is Forced To Define Geist is an honorary leadership
organization whose primary purpose is to recognize and encour- age quality achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service. Membership in Geist is recognition of individual students who have excelled in many aspects of college life.
In addition to recognizing the efforts of students, Geist seeks to actively support the college- students, faculty, and administration, and the community through various services. One of the major projects of the year is the sponsoring of a bloodmobile each spring. Geist members try to promote interest and support not only at Longwood but also at Hampden-Sydney and in the Farmville community. The efforts of the drive were well- rewarded in that a state record of donations was made last year.
Geist members are called upon at various times throughout the year to render assistance in such areas as registration and Found- ers Day. Another major service to Longwood students takes the form of the Elizabeth Burger
Jackson Scholarship, awarded each spring to a deserving student. In addition to this annual scholarship, last year Geist sponsored a special scholarship in memory of Mary BethKienlen.
During the spring and fall of the year, Geist holds its Recognition Assemblies in which juniors and seniors are tapped for membership.
Another area in which Geist trys to serve the college is the sponsoring of the Oktoberfest Weekend. We feel that this festival is beneficial for several basic reasons:
1. Profits received by Geist are STRICTLY fed into the scholarship fund. Therefore, the week end is an humanitarian effort, not a capitalistic venture.
2. All campus organizations are given an opportunity to supplement budgets in order to provide needed funds to maintain their primary functions and specific projects.
3. The Oktoberfest Festival also serves as a good home- coming weekend for alumnae and as an occasion when parents,
guests, and prospective students may visit.
4. Because a person cannot spend every minute of his time studying, the weekend provides a chance for students to relax and enjoy themselves. The weekend activities are there for all those who wish to participate and for all those who wish to be entertained.
5. Since we realize that education encompasses more than academics, we feel that this weekend provides an opportunity for students to expand their educational experience in other facets of life. Students are able to learn more about co-operation and responsibility during the pre- paration for the weekend. Taking a responsibility now might very possibly alleviate problems in the future. Furthermore, through working on Oktoberfest, students are given the chance to get to know their fellow students, to show their spirit and enthusiasm, and to demonstrate a loyalty for their Alma Mater.
Sincerely, GEIST
Announcements
Dear Editor, I cannot understand why the
head table has decided to read the daily announcements to us at dinner. It seems to me that all of us at Longwood should be able to read them ourselves. I realize that perhaps people aren't reading the bulletin but don't you think that maybe that's because they aren't interested? If we continue this policy of reading all announcements that pertain to the student body, we are going to end up with the same situation we had before. I don't know about you but I don't come to dinner to listen to a lot of announcements, especially if they're the same ones I just read in the bulletin.
Sincerely yours, Phyllis Dexter Class of '73
Toleration
Needed Webster defines the verb toler-
ate in this manner, "to recognize and respect (others'beliefs, practices, etc.) without neces- sarily agreeing." In our fastly changing society, this is a trait which seems to have been for- gotten.
In thinking of Longwood's campus, it is a recognized fact that not everyone has the same ideas, interests, beliefs, or opinions. However, if we are to live together peacefully in a cooperative environment, it seems that we need to have an attitude of tolerance - an acceptance of other people, even though they may not think like us. Tolerance is so important in all human relations. It is a courtesy we give to others. We recognize and concede to their different opinions and beliefs while we also stand up for that which we believe.
Truly wise people recognize that not everyone is alike nor do
they act alike. We would not wish this because how very monoto- nous life would be. Therefore, a person's individuality or the way he chooses to live is rightfully his own decision.
If every student at Longwood would only try a little harder to respect this right of the individual (as we would want others to respect what we believe) then perhaps we could all live more cooperatively together.
Sincerely, Bev Aston
Oktoberfest
Defended
In regard to the article in last week's ROTUNDA entitled, "There Is a Sucker Born Every Minute," we would like to express our concern. We regret that there are those who do not see the value of Oktoberfest. For many, this is a time when Long- wood students can express their originality, while they learn to work with other people. This is an opportune time for all people, for it encourages friendship and self-confidence. These aspects are vital to one's life, not only during the four years at Long- wood, but also in the future. How- ever, we are mainly concerned about the tone of the article it- self. We believe that Longwood offers much for all its students. It is expected that all people will not enjoy participating in all of Longwood's activities. Neverthe- less, we feel that Longwood students should be mature enough to respect, or at least tolerate, the opinions and enthusiasm of others.
Sincerely, Becky West, Brenda Griffin, Susan Davis, and other concerned Green and Whites
Helpful
Experience
Define your higher things, Nan- cy Chase. Oktoberfest can teach how to operate under pressure, how to work with people, how to make ideas change to reality. Ok- toberfest is a chance to make friends, to give of yourself, and to learn to accept the conse- quences. Oktoberfest is, unfor- tunately, one of those few times - another one is called Christ- mas — when any of us is allowed to share, to be happy, and to give totally to something which is believed in without being la- beled as immature. So what if it is called colors? It's only a name. Do you want a place where you don't have anything to give loyalty to? Go out and find it - it won't be hard. Go to a place where you can devote all your time to the higher things; but I can promise that unless you add the dimension of experience to it, the knowledge will do you no good.
You spoke of not looking to the future - do you not think the experience of working with something of this scope and the knowledge acquired of stage production, costuming, directing, or- ganizing, and human relations... do you not think that these are not also parts of being a good teacher, a good social worker, a good community leader? Can you not see the two sides? If not, then you are as guilty as those who, sadly enough, live only for the red, green, and blue at Long- wood. It takes both, living and learning, to make one a whole person. Even if you do not feel this is the way to express living, through the giving and sharing and working done in Oktoberfest, then at least dont condemn others for it. I ask you to look at both sides. Yes, the side you see does exist, but so does the other. Can you see the good?
Sincerely, Susan Stutz
German Expressionist Prints October 20, 1971 THE ROTUNDA Page 3
Will Be Exhibited Octoberis Questions On Usage Of Library The National Carl Schurz As-
sociation, Inc. has sent to the Bedford Gallery a series of Ger- man Expressionist prints. These lithographs, drawings and wood- cuts will be on exhibit beginning Monday, Oct. 18. Gallery Hours, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., 7-11 p.m., Mon. thru Thurs. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 2p.m.-6p.m. and Sunday, 2 p.m.-10 p.m.
Among the prints are works of Ernst Barlach, 1870-1938, a sculptor noted for his expression- istic interpretations of everyday life. Ernst Kirchner, 1880-1938, one of the founders of Die Brucke, is represented as are works by Otto Mueller, 1874-1930, Emil Nolde, 1867-1956, and many others. The works of these Ger- mans show their emotional involvement with the realities of life before and after World War I. Their distortion of line and color stated a new reality which was difficult for their contem- poraries to accept and which the Hitler regime could not tolerate.
The exhibition includes color slides and books illustrating the achievements of many of these German Expressionist and their relationship with the Bauhaus, one of the most influential forces in Twentieth Century Art.

Answers Provided By Head Of Staff By LYNNE PIERCE
"We don't have any way here to compile the actual number of students in the student body who use the collection," answer- ed Mr. Charles Butler when questioned as to the number of students who use the library.
Mr. Butler, who heads the staff of the Dabney Lancaster Library, was approached after several questions concerning the library had been raised by faculty members and students. The questions covered such topics as usage of the library, the number of items which are stolen, and appropriations.
Mr. Butler stated that out of 122,000 books in the library last year, a little over 59,000 had been checked out. However, he added, "We don't count it book by book. One book could go out three times and the one next to it would stay there". Therefore, assuming that nearly half of the library was checked out would be a misconception.
"We haven't had a staff large enough to take a running inven- tory, which one would have to do to get a real idea of our losses," said Mr. Butler when asked how many books had been stolen. However, he estimated that of 3,500 books on open shelf reserve last year, two per cent or seventy volumes had been stolen. A limited number of titles among the periodicals are spo- radically hard hit by thefts, but most are left intact, which Mr. Butler attributes to the fact that "students don't make as much use of the periodicals as many other libraries I've been in".
Mr. Butler said some sort of checking system would cut down o n the losses, but he felt it would cost too much to have checkers at the three public doors of the library during the
hours it was open. When asked if some type of electrical de- tection system would be cheaper than the loss of books in the long-run, he said he felt the initial cost of installation would be too great. Mr. Butler said the library has taken no steps to have any type of system approved and classified the situation as "just one of those unsolved problems".
When asked how he felt the monetary appropriations of the library compared with other areas of the college, Mr. Butler replied that he felt it was well handled and that this library fares better than many in the state. "Library support in an institu- tion is judged on what percent- age of the entire appropriation for educational expenditures the library receives," and he added that this was influenced by the increasing cost of books and increases in the number of faculty and students.
No system of priorities is im- posed on the ordering of books according to Mr. Butler, although orders marked "rush" will be placed first. Mr. Butler said that giving each department an allotment had been unsuccessful because some would spend more than their share and others less. He said now "we keep an eye on requests and try to keep things in line".
The Inter-Library Loan Sys- tem is considered a major asset to the library. Mr. Butler explained that according to the regulations of the American Li- brary Association, the system was only to be used by faculty members; however, the Univer- sity of Virginia and other state libraries interpret it widely to include students. If a student wishes to borrow a book from another library, she must fill out a form with the title of the
book, its author and other per- tinent information and have it signed by the professor whose class she will use it for. The library will then forward the request to the library most like- ly to have the book.
When asked to what extent Longwood had an archive, Mr. Butler replied that Seminar Two, in the basement, contained the "Longwood Archives". This consists of bound cataloges, college publications, minutes of meetings and miscellaneous information from the campus. He stated that the library had no intention at all of establishing an archives of important documents or gifts of papers which might be given to the school. He feels It will be necessary for Longwood to be of the stature of the Univer- sity of Virginia or at least grant the doctorate degree before this type of archive will be useful.

Longwood Grows To Meet Student Demands By STEPHANIE SIVERT
As you step over the pipes and make detours around the cement trucks in an effort to avoid the signs of* continuing progress and improvement" exemplified by construction on campus, do you ever wonder what Longwood might look like 5-10 years from now? Students who have been here for the past four years have wit- nessed the construction and reno- vation of a number of buildings on campus. Curry and Frazer dormitories, the Fine Arts complex, and the Coyner Home Eco- nomics building were all built to meet the needs of an expanding student body. A lot of changes have occurred regarding campus expansion in the past few years but even more are projected for the future.
New Physical Education Building
Projected for the immediate future, if the funds are allocated
is a new physical education building to be located across from Curry and Frazer. This new building has been designed to include among other things, a swimming pool with an adjoining walkout terrace, four tennis courts, and a 110 space parking lot for students. The Adminis- tration is optimistic that funds for the project will be made available allowing construction of the new facility to begin in the fall of 1972.
As a result of this new building, some of the funds requested for the next biennium will be used to demolish the present swimming pool now located in French gymnasium and convert that section into a recreational activities area. With the new gymnasium in the physical education building, Her Gym will no longer be needed and will therefore be renovated, if the money is appropriated, for use as an academic building primarily for,
the History and Social Sciences Department.
In order to handle the heating capacity of the physical education building, funds have been requested for 1972 to convert two of the steam plant's coal fire boilers to oil fire boilers. This would also help to eliminate some of the pollution. Next year the college also hopes to get the funds to build a parking lot on Buffalo Street.
New Construction And Improvements
A number of improvements have been planned as well as new construction in requesting funds for the next biennium. Plans have been made to relandscape the entire campus and improve the lighting. Air conditioning for Grainger, Hiner, Stevens, and the Language floor in Ruffher has also been planned.
New construction includes an addition of two floors to the Mc-
Corkle wing of the science building. These two floors will house additional laboratories and a planetarium.
New High Rise Dormitories
During the next six years, the college hopes funds will be allocated in order to add a wing on the Coyner Building. This new wing will include two additional home economics labs and the campus TV studio which is now located in Hiner. An extension of Bedford is also projected for the future.
If the enrollment demands it, a high rise dormitory complex similar to Curry-Frazer but equipped with a dining hall will be built between the Fine Arts complex and the campus school. Dur- ing 1976-1978 only one of the dorms is expected to be completed; the other one would be
built after 1978. Still mother high rise complex is planned for the west side of campus between Ely Street and Race Street to be built after 1978.
In explaining the college's plans for future expansion in regard to the planned high rise dormitories, Col. Abrams, Director of the physical plant, stated that "neither the Board of Education nor the State anticipates or has the desire for the CoUege to get that big but we are required to have plans in case it becomes necessary. The current feeling is that if another 400 resident student dorm was built during 1936- 1978, the enroUment (of the college) would be considered by the Administration to be the right size."
Class of 1972, take a good look around campus before you leave in June. You might not recognize it the next time you come back.

Madison Rolls Over LC Hockey Team
Longwood's hockey team met their match as they bowed to Madison with a score of 4-1.
Riding Classes Very Popular
Students Learn Horsemanship The art of horsemanship has
become very popular with many college students. Longwood students are no exception. Because of their interest and the interest of faculty members, horseback riding is now offered in the curriculum of the Physical Ed- ucation Department with credit.
This fall three riding classes, with a total of 25 students enroll- ed have been offered. Under the instruction of Miss Sally Bush, Longwood professor and Mr. Fred Linton, owner and manager of Hampden Stables, the students have begun their learning on a strictly beginner basis. Instruc- tion has begun with the fund- amentals of horse care as well as the basic skills of horsemanship, saddling, mounting, dismounting, sitting, walking, and posting the trot.
Future plans for the riding class include an interclass horse show in the spring when all faculty and students will be invit- ed as spectators. Guest speakers, including a veterinarian, and de-
monstrations of shoeing and hoof care are planned. A riding club is hoped for in the future where students will participate in in- tercollegiate activitives.
Students are being schooled in forward seat tradition. It is hoped that an advanced class of riders taking jumping will be formed later. Future plans for the stable includes additional stall space, classrooms, and an indoor ring.
Riding will be offered again in the spring, so all interested persons should register for this class.
SWIM TEAM TRYOUTS
Pick New Members The tryouts for corkettes re-
sulted in thirteen promising new members. They are: Debbie El- lenbrand, Seba Breedlove, Julie Burton, Debbie Funkhouse, Cindy Houck, Patti Miller, Mary Moore, Martha Gale Morrissett, Donna Neal, Beth Skinner, Kathie Sweet, and Debbie Vail.
Already practices are well un- derway. The girls are preparing for the oncoming festivities of Oktoberfest. The theme of the show for Oktoberfest is, "The Enchanted Forest." On the mid- way tickets will be sold for twenty-five cents. For the bene- fit of all who wish to see the show, there are four scheduled times when the show will be shown. They are from 2:00 - 2:30, 2:30-3:00, 3:00 - 3:30, 3:30 -4:00. The girls have some fantastic ideas and are working very hard to make this show a good one. So do yourself a favor and come see what "The Enchanted Forest" is all about!
Logwood s nrst team defeated Bridgewater by a score of 3-2. The second teams of both colleges were evenly matched. Final score was 0-0.

LC Golf Team Undefeated
Ties Hollins; Tops RMWC On October 12 the Longwood
Golf Team put their undefeated record on the line when they played their final tournament of the season at Lynchburg. The tournament was held on the Co- lonial Hills Golf course with Randolph Macon Women's Col- lege, Hollins, and Longwood participating. When all the matches were completed, the score showed Longwood 16 1/2 points, Hol- lins 16 1/2 points and Randolph Macon 3 points. This tournament was the closest one of the season for the four golfers, but they still remain undefeated.
Penny Stallins, playing in her usual number one position, received 1 1/2 points for Long- wood. Ann Santo re and Louise Moss, playing numbers two and three respectfully, each defeated both of their opponents and gave Longwood a total of 12 more
points. Playing in her first match and as number four for Long- wood, Peggy Lynch did an excellent job and added three more points to Longwood's score.
After the tournament was over, Longwood's golf coach, Dr. Bar- bara Smith, had high praise for her golf team. "I am extremely proud of all these girls, and the way they have represented Lon| - wood during the season. They have worked hard and showed great improvement along with an excellent record of 5-0-1. I feel that the full potential of this team has not yet been reached, but by practicing during the winter, each golfer will play better by April when the season starts again. I am also looking forward to the State Tournament in May when the team will de- fend their title as the number one golf team in the state."

Banner Trial CHARLOTTESVILLE - The
Department of Athletics at the University of Virginiahaspress- ed charges with the Judiciary Committee against five students because they violated the ban on flag waving at athletic events. The students displayed the banner, which read "Stop Expan- sion," at the Vanderbilt football game on Oct. 2 so that it would be seen by President Edgar F. Shannon and Governor Linwood Holton. Afterwards, the banner was presented to President Shan- non. Howard Gordon, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said if the students were found guilty of disobeying the ban, they will not be severely punishad.
Rift Widens WILLIAMSBURG - TheStudent
Association Senate at the College of William and Mary defeated a resolution brought before it last week, which called for a refer- endum on the campus of student confidence in the organization. There has been some contention as to whether the Student Associ- ation represents the students and Mike Karp, who sponsored the resolution, claimed the rejection proved that the government was afraid of student opinion. The students seemed to have found another way to express their dis- satisfaction when less than thirty per cent of the student body voted in a special election for vice- president. Because so few voted, another election will be held and if no one is elected, the refer- endum will be held. Another in- cident developed at the same time
i the resolution. Old Dominion Dormitory, which split from the SA, voted not to rejoin it and is challenging its authority.
Mini-Semester
STAUNTON - A committee at Mary Baldwin College is now con- sidering a proposal that the college offer a short semester at the end of the regular year. The mini- semester would consist of three weeks of intense study in one area and regular credit would be given for the work. The idea behind the plan is to allow a student to accelerate a subject without having to give up most of her summer.
Protest Planned
CHARLOTTESVILLE - Uni- versity of Virginia Student Coun- cil President Thomas Collier has led the Student Council in calling on the students to join a mass protest on October 18 and 19 against expansion of the student body. The student body has been concerned with the increasing size of the student enrollment coupled with no increase in fa- cilities. University President Edgar F. Shannon has asked the Student Council to abandon its plans for the demonstration. He says it can only hurt the school's image with the people who control the needed aid.
Libraries RICHMOND AND STAUNTON-
The libraries at the University of Richmond and Blue Ridge Com- munity College both made the news this week for totally oppo- site reasons. The University has been presented with a book collection valued at $2,000, which includes seven volumes that once belonged to John Randolph of Roanoke. The Community Col- lege is facing the loss of its ac- creditation if the library facili- ties are not improved 15 to 20 per cent by 1973.

Dining Hall Annexation To
Include Student Banquet Room By JUDY THORPE
As most students have probably already noticed, Longwood Col- lege is expanding the student dining hall. The purpose of this project is to accomodate the increasing number of students and to eliminate the existing over- crowded conditions.
The annexation will be built on two levels-the main floor and the downstairs level, and will seat approximately 450 additional people. One section of the new construction will be designed as a banquet room which will hold 100 students. Therefore, clubs and organizations may conduct banquets during regular meal
time. Two doors will adjoin the balcony level of the old dining hall and the roof, which will be a patio, of the new addition.
Also, the entire dining hall will be centrally air conditioned and required fire escapes are to be built. Furthermore, the kitch- ens are to be painted and the appliances rearranged to improve efficiency. Dishwashing has presented a problem and to remedy it, the main dishwashing room will be rebuilt and enlarged.
Colonel B. B. Abrams, Direc- tor of the Physical Plant, reports that the construction will cost $450,000 and will be ready for use in September, 1972.
Two New Faculty Added To
College's Education Department
By VALERIE BLANKS The education department has
added two new professors to their teaching staff this year. These two men are Mr. J. Lee Pern- be rton and Mr. David Blevins.
Mr. Pemberton, who is from Richmond, received his bachelor's degree from Emory and Henry and his master's from UVA.
He has taught on an elementary level as well as being prin- cipal of an elementary school in Richmond. His last position was at a non-graded elementary school in Chesterfield County.
Mr. Pemberton is very much interested in this non-graded system on the elementary level. He said that the school in Ches- terfield County was the first to initiate this idea in central Va., but that it is spreading rapidly. Under this program the child works at his own level of capacity, possibly advancing in one subject more than others.
The methods of teaching writ- ing, creative, composition and handwriting, and reading in elementary schools are taught by Mr. Pemberton. He is also a supervisor for student teachers.
Mr. Pemberton and his wife live here in Farmville and have two little girls.
Mr. David Blevins whose home is in Arlington County received his bachelor's degree from Mad- ison. He then taught subjects in
the field of social studies for six years in Fairfax County.
During the two years before he came to Longwood, Mr. Ble- vins was a full time student at UVA, where he received his master's degree. He is now finish- ing up his dissertation and hopes to have his doctorate by this summer.
Mr. Blevins teaches classes in the methods of secondary education and is a supervisor of student teachers. In the capacity of this job he is "passionately committed to humanizing public education."
Besides teaching, Mr. Blevins has many outside interests. He has been to Europe six times and London is his favorite city. He is especially interested in music and plays the drums and guitar. He likes different types of music, "blues" and hard rock topping the list.
'The Uttlt Shop That Hot Everything"
DR. ARTHUR A I) KIN EDWIN R. CHEEK
Astrology Investigated As
Post, Sept. 26.
Would you believe, birth control by astrology?
The Czechs are experimenting with a form of birth control by "cosmogram" which they claim is 98 percent effective - as effective as the pill, and no side effects, of course.
Moreover, they claim, "cos- mograms" can be utilized to pre- vent miscarriages and birth defects, to choose the baby's sex, and to help sterile women bear children.
The author of this new system of cosmo-gynecology is Czech psychiatrist Dr. Eugen Jonas. In 1956, Dr. Jonas noticed in his practice that some women ex- perienced heightened sexual desire in a recurring cycle. An astrologist by avocation, he be- gan to correlate this cycle with birth data and astrologic charts.
Dr. Jonas decided that the position of the sun and moon at the time of a woman's birth offers the key to her fertility. It indi- cates the days on which she may conceive for the rest of her life. By abstaining from intercourse on these days she may avoid pregnancy; or, if she wants to conceive, she has only to choose these days.
Furthermore, Dr. Jonas claims, miscarriages and birth defects result when conception occurs at a particular junction of the sun, moon, and planets. Similarly, he believes, the sex of a child is determined by astrologic data at the time of conception. With knowledge of these periods, a woman can avoid trag- edy and bear healthy children of the desired sex.
At the Astra Research Center for Planned Parenthood in Nitra,
Czechoslovakia, Dr. Jonas anc his colleagues work out "cos- mograms" for the thousands of women who write to them with birth control and fertility problems. So far, Astra claims 98 per cent effectiveness in plan- ning birth control and 95 per cent success in sex prediction and other problems of pregnancy.
Skeptical scientists all over the world are now examining Dr. Jonas' system of cosmo-gynecology. UNESCO, the Max Planck In- stitute in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Leningrad Institute of Gynecology are looking into the subject. Meanwhile, in Czecho- slovakia, birth control by astrology is widely and successfully practiced.

Administration's Position Explained On Vending Machines
The never ending question of the vending machine
By JUDY THORPE Many students have issued re-
quests and complaints concerning the vending machines on campus; however, administration feels that there are many problems which the students do not understand.
There are approximately 40 vending machines on campus which are furnished by the Lynch- burg Coca-Cola Bottling Com-
pany. These number of machines comprise an investment for the company of about $50,000. Each new machine installation must carry with it a guarantee that it will be profitable for the company. If a machine is not profitable, then it is removed.
Requests have been turned in especially concerning the drink machines. Many people prefer bottled or canned drinks as op-
posed to cup drinks. Several problems are presented if such systems are used. A problem arises in the disposal of the drink cans and bottles. This situation creates an increase in the physical disposal, and also many times cans and bottles may be discarded in the buildings and on the grounds instead of in trash containers. The drink company would be required to charge 20? per bottled or canned drink to balance their investment. Each bottle costs the company 5<? while the cup costs 1<?,
The Coca-Cola Company states that their margin of profit would be reduced 75ri if machines vending bottles and cans were used. Several reasons contribute to this decreased profit. A cup machine can supply 1,000 drinks whereas a bottle machine supplies only 226 drinks. This condition would require more frequent trips by the service man and would ul- timately necessitate an increase in salary.
Suggestions have also been made as to the installations of more machines such as sandwich machines and ice cream machines. If the machines are profitable, there is not available space or electrical service to supply the machines. If a machine was installed in one dor-
mitory, it would be only equally fair to install them in all dormitories. Also, the town of Farm- ville has recently passed a tax on vending machines which will take effect on January 1, 1972. The machines are taxed according to their content following this scale.
(1) A tax of $20.00 a year is charged for all jukeboxes.
(2) A tax of $10.00 per year is placed on each washer and dry- er.
(3) Taxes on other vending machines are set up as follows:
Contents amounting 10<? to 14?, the tax wiU be $10.00 per year per machine.
Contents amounting 15<? to 19?, the tax will be $15.00 per year.
Contents amounting 20<? to34<?, the tax wiU be $25.00 per year.
Contents amounting 35? to 59?, the tax will be $35.00 per year.
If any machine contains a com- bination of the various prices, the highest bracket of tax is paid.
This tax set up by Farmville has to be paid by the Bottling Company which vould further re- duce the company's piofits.
In addition to food machines, requests for charge machines have been received. If such machines were installed, each dormitory would receive one which woi^d b; 12 locations. Each ma-
chine costs $1,000 and would have to contain $200 in change. These machines would have to be pur- chased by the college and an amount of $14,400 would be in- corporated into students' fees in order to pay for the change machines. Experience shows that the machines are operable only 50ri of the time and an experi- enced serviceman would have to come from Richmond or one would have to be hired by the college. The administration feels that the college and its students cannot afford to pay for these machines and the salary of some- one to service them. Change may be obtained now in the Informa- tion Office and in the Office of the Director of Lank ford Build- ing. The Administration is open to constructive suggestions.
Suggestions are welcome concerning the different types of machines located on campus and the ways in which the vending machines could be relocated and give the college its greatest re- turn. The college receives 10ri of the $50,000 profits and this amount is used for the students in some manner. The machines ^."e installed to aid the students. Suggestions should be made to President Willett or Jimmy H. Paul, Business Manager and treasurer.
New Elementary Education October 25 Set For Anti-War Offensive
Seminar Received Favorably
By CATHI O'DONNti^L
Among the new courses added to the curriculum this fall is a seminar for senior Elementary Education majors. (Education 460). The major emphasis in the course is on the uses of the In- ner-City Simulation Laboratory which includes a series of films through which the student is in- troduced to the school, the prin- cipal, and the faculty. The films also present various problems and situations within the school which are to be discussed. Each student also uses the SRA Par- ticipant's Unit which contains cumulative record folders, case studies, and sociometric data. An informal discussion is held with Mr. George P.Elliott,acting as "more of a guide than an in- structor."
Another major emphasis is the scheduling of authorities in the field of education for the students to listen to and to question. The lectures will begin Nov. 15 and continue through Jan. 10 and deals with topics such as "The Problems of Appalachia."
Comments by the students are all favorable and full of enthusiasm. The students said that the seminar is giving them some practical experience because it places them in the role of teacher.
One student pointed out that they are made aware of various points of view and a variety of reactions and opinions through the informal discussion. Another student said that this course provided them with a real situation rather than an ideal one such as that of the campus school. In this course, which is an outgrowth of "Schools in the American Com- munity (Education 453), they deal with underprivileged children and children from the ghetto.
Although the meeting time is MWF at 9:00, the class often continues longer than the 50 minute time period. The times ofthe sessions are very flexible to allow for overtime and double-sessions.
This seminar belongs to the students and it is up to them to decide how the class is organ- ized.
